ABOUT THIS EPISODE

For those who may not be familiar with the show Make48, it’s where teams of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and places develop brand new ideas in a weekend invent-a-thon where they have 48 hours to plan, prototype, and pitch an idea for prizes and licensing potential. It is a valuable resource for anyone and everyone to gain insight into the innovation community. David McCutcheon, full time teacher and inventor and avid listener of the podcast, has wanted to be on Make48, so he brought together his longtime friend, Erik Phelps, and their two daughters, Brynn and Maria, to make up Team D.a.D., Dads and Daughters, and auditioned for the show and made it. David, Erik, Brynn, and Maria recount how they worked their way through the 48-hour challenge and had an awesome time creating a product called the Wedgy with patent that's going to be on the shelves of major retailers.
